With the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs, American taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for medicine going to waste.

Amy Klobuchar

It's true that laughter really is cheap medicine. It's a prescription anyone can afford. And best of all, you can fill it right now.

Steve Goodier

Laughter is good medicine for the soul. Our world is desperately in need of more medicine.

Jim Stovall

Laughter is the best medicine, y'know, besides medicine.

Bo Burnham

Recently, lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry wrote a prescription drug bill that increased their profits and did nothing to help seniors. The result: seniors are stuck with a confusing prescription drug plan that does little to help them with their costs.

Marty Meehan

The cost of prescription drugs in this country is far, far higher than in any other country. You may recall that Donald Trump as a candidate for president talked about how he was going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and it was going to lower prescription drug costs.

Bernie Sanders

Never lie to a child about doctors or medicine or anything else; but if you feel, as some people seem to feel, that life without lying is an impossibility, at least don't lie about the amount of pain likely to result from a surgical procedure, or about the taste of some medicine. If you know that something to be done will hurt, say so; if a mixture to be swallowed is unpleasant, say so. If you deceive a child once in such matters, do not imagine that it will trust you again. You do not deserve trust, and you will not get it.

Lyman Abbott

Life consists of sadness too. And sadness is also beautiful; it has its own depth, its own delicacy, its own deliciousness, its own taste. A man is poorer if he has not known sadness; he is impoverished, very much impoverished. His laughter will be shallow, his laughter will not have depth, because depth comes only through sadness. A man who knows sadness, if he laughs, his laughter will have depth. His laughter will have something of his sadness too, his laughter will be more colorful.

Rajneesh

Laughter is the most inexpensive and most effective wonder drug. Laughter is a universal medicine.

Bertrand Russell

In selling as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis is malpractice.

Tony Alessandra

In sales, as in medicine, a prescription before diagnosis is a mistake in the arts.

John Naisbitt

I believe gelato is meant to be treated as medicine and taken daily as a prescription.

Betsy Brandt

When you have a senior citizen who can't afford her prescription medicine, Washington is broken.

Wayne Messam

taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. Nothing is more decisive. There is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. Intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.

Susan Sontag

I would say laughter is the best medicine. But it's more than that. It's an entire regime of antibiotics and steroids. Laughter brings the swelling down on our national psyche and then applies an antibiotic cream. You gotta keep it away from your eyes.
